Title: Delivery of emulsion explosive compositions through an oversized diaphragm pump
Inventor: ATKINSON KERRY S
IPC: F42D1/10
Filed: 2001-01-23
Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for delivering emulsion
explosive compositions into a borehole by means of an oversized diaphragm pump,
which provides a relatively constant flow rate for the pumped emulsion composition
thereby minimizing flow pulsations during delivery. More specifically, the system and
method comprise an oversized diaphragm pump of significantly higher capacity than the
intended flow rate of the emulsion composition, in combination with a water injection
system that provides a lubricating annular stream of pressurized water between the
pumped emulsion composition and the inner surface of a delivery hose for delivering the
composition into a borehole. By minimizing flow pulsations, a safe, simple and easy to
handle system and method for the delivery of emulsion compositions into boreholes are
provided. Moreover, the diaphragm pump operates at a relatively low pressure which
also enhances safety.

Abstract: Each device of a group of devices (A,B,C), in particular voice-controlled devices, is
equipped with sound receivers and emitters and a short-range radio communication
subsystem. Each device (A,B,C) is caused to emit a test sound and, via its communications
subsystem, a related timing-reference signal. Each device receiving a test sound and related
timing-reference signal determines the transit time (T AB ,T BA ,T AC ,T CA ,T BC ,T CB ) of the test
sound. Using the measured transit times, the devices determine their distances one from
another and, by exchanging these distances, the devices, or at least one of them, calculates
the relative locations of all devices.

Abstract: A visual lossless encoder (20) for processing a video frame prior to compression by a video encoder includes a threshold unit (54), a filter unit, an association unit and an altering unit. The threshold unit (54) identifies a plurality of visual perception threshold levels to be associated with the pixels of the video frame, wherein the threshold levels define contrast levels above which a human eye can distinguish a pixel from among its neighboring pixels of the frame. The filter unit divides the video frame into portions having different detail dimensions. The association unit utilizes the threshold levels and the detail dimensions to associate the pixels of the video frame into subclasses. Each subclass includes pixels related to the same detail and which generally cannot be distinguished from each other. The altering unit alters the intensity of each pixel of the video frame according to its subclass.

Abstract: An adaptive digital image processor precedes an MPEG2 encoder. The
processor receives a high definition video signal intended for broadcast or storage,
and adaptively low-pass filters the signal. The signal is subjected to low-pass two-dimensional
filtering to eliminate encoding artifacts and related noise. The video
signal is then horizontally down-sampled to create a lower resolution hybrid signal. A
receiver decodes and decompresses the hybrid signal. The hybrid signal is
upsampled to its original resolution using existing hardware and software with a
software modification.

Abstract: Set-up, write, sustain and erase pulses are variously
applied to a plasma display panel using a staircase waveform in
which the rising or falling portion is in at least two steps.
These staircase waveforms can be realized by adding at least two
pulses. Use of such waveforms for the set-up, write and erase
pulses improves contrast, and use for the sustain pulses reduces
screen flicker and improves luminous efficiency. This is of
particular use in driving high definition plasma display panels
